Not really sized for sigs but i tossed this together for a billboard advert in my trackmania server.

This thread inspired me to open Photoshop after a long break.

I think it's pretty good for 15 minute work.

It is, but the Typo doesn't fit in my opinion.

You could make a custom billboard for the ready rooms.
I've seen it on different servers for day of defeat, there where floating boxes or some other crap around with that server's clan's infos.
I have absolute no idea how to do it without effing up the BSPs, tho. Probably some kind of custom item that is spawned by Adminmod.

does anyone know the font type used in the concept art?

as seen in the bottom left hand corner of this piece with the word "skulk":

p.s
seems my sig exceeds the newly increased allowed limit of 40kb by 1kb :(

will make the changes now.

for everyone else:

<b> Sigs are not to exceed 400x75 and/or 40KB. No exceptions.</b>

MotherGoose

Okay so here's some more sigs to choose from.
they all meet the UWE forum siq requirements (file size/resolution) so feel free to use them.
i can provide the files in diff res/size, but this should be fine.

i've tried to mix up the visual style but i've chosen to keep the url's in all the images to help promote awareness, which is what this is all about anyway :P

anyway, enjoy;

I played with one of the still shots to add some action to it, but something's still missing.

Maybe put the zoom blur center on either of the skulks? However by doing this you do blur out the NS2 logo as well :/

another one to add to the list:

incidentally, i've created a request thread for anyone who'd like some customised work done.
Sigs, avatars, or even wallpapers.

Thread can be found <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=110094" target="_blank">HERE</a> for those who would like to make a request :D

I think I would be a dis-service promoting ns anywhere :)

Haven't made a siggy in a long time but here is one also:

MotherGoose

nice work west :D

however, forum rules are 400x75@40kb for sigs, better change it or an admin will nuke it

w3st420

Really? That is tiny lol but alright thanks for the heads up

EDIT:
I also created to wallpaper using the biodome artwork. They're both 800x500 because I'm using widescreen. Easily editable for 800x600, but I can't be bothered at the moment.

^^ Really cool animated sig, but read the 5 posts above yours....

Talesin

Yup. 400x75 and 40KB is the limit. Keeps down the amount of animation used (leading to much more readable and pleasant forums for everyone), and focusses attention on the content of the posts, rather than filling half the screen with sig images. But still leaves room for talented people to put in little bits of animation, or really high-quality images with a little care paid to the compression used. Not as much a feat as when the limit was 22KB for sigs, but ah well.

40KB is a hard limit. If the sig image is 40961 bytes or higher, it will be nuked. It's happened numerous times before, mostly by intent by people 'protesting' the filesize limit.
Still takes the same approximately five seconds to remove.

I put it on the lerk as those have a higher priority to me (they can attack on range, have AoE weapons and they die faster if the player isnt retreating at once)

For those interested in steam signatures;
I got Marc from DDgamer.com to touch up a wee bit on his forum signature generator.
The 3 bottom signatures are now in line with the NS forum restrictions of 400x75 max size.
As for the size of the sigs, I hope they won't exceed the maximum allowed since they vary in size from sig to sig(at least from what I can tell).

NS2 isn't officially tracked by steam yet, so your gameplay hours won't be shown yet, but once it's out in the open the background picture and icon(depending on whether you chose with or without icon) will be displaying NS2(if ofc that is the game you play the most...)

Currently it will show any other games you have played though, but still - it's a start ;)

The generated sigs are also stored on the DDgamer page, so when people see more and more NS2 sigs popping up there(once it's tracked) they might get curious.


Edit:
Forgot the link -.-
